Tzen's Word Bearers!

Man, that standard/icon bearer is absolutely awesome! I just finished 'Betrayer' and have a whole new respect for possessed marines (at least the ones portrayed pre-heresy). Speaking of, any interest in the new Forgeworld Gal Vorbak? :wink: I feel like Chaos players everywhere are rejoicing at the awesomeness of the sculpts!

Good to see your possessed have devoted themselves to Slaanesh! Looks like you've been getting a few games in too. As always the models look stunning, and I love the mix of old and new models [plague bearers look superb]. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Gal Vorbak.

Tzen, those bikers are freaking awesome! I'm glad you painted some bikes because to be honest I've always felt the GW CSM bikes looked fairly dated but, seeing this, they look much better with a decent paintjob on em! Nothing wrong with a healthy dose of "Mad Max" injected into a sculpt :tongue.:

I kinda like how you're more on the bloody crimson instead of maroon. However, this makes them very indestinguishable from CS.

 

Well CS dont have the silver trim, they have gold. Other than that the paint jobs are pretty similar! I actually try to go for a darker crimson when i paint the veterans of the army, and a lighter red when it's the more common rank and file. But the intention was to be a brighter red overall. The main reason being I am a "clean" painter, the dark red feels too messy to me!

 

Additionally my pictures never i take seem to make the red always look brighter than it really is. No idea why, crap camera I suppose! :D

 

 

 

@everyone else!

 

Thanks for the kind words fellas!

 

I'm not painting a Word Bearer thing next, I am having a break from red and doing something square based! Only a small thing, I just fancied a break!

That standard bearer is wonderful. Could you give me a run down on how you did the cloth for the banner?

I will do my best!

 

It was basically just layers of warlock purple (not sure what the new paint is called?), but with black added to it. Eventually I added some white instead of black and built up from there. 

 

I personally believe the important thing about any cloth is that you start dark and build your way up. And obviously water your paints down a lot. The more you water a paint down the better the result you will get. Takes much longer and is trickier to control though! :D

 

I continue, even after all this time, to hate you with a passion :laugh.:

 

I know it's labor intensive, so you at least work hard for it, but no one should have such a consistently awesome level of red.

 

I'm sorry to generate such anger in you :P

 

A few people have mentioned the red being consistent but when I look at my older minis I can really see differences. And obviously my older models are pretty poor compared tot he newer ones! Although if you spend all your time looking mostly at only your own minis I guess you notice the flaws in them more than any others.

Traitor!!!!!1!1 :smile.: Oh wait that does not work too well :smile.:...

 

When will we see Lorgar?

 

 

 

Haha, I am a round base traitor!

 

Lorgar will likely be after I have painted up my Gal'Vorbak and after Erebus and Kor Phaeron. I don't have anything like as much time as I did over summer any more so projects will be much slower :(

Thanks fellas!

 

I had a game last night and used both the possessed and the Gal Vorbak (as spawn), but squads did really well, was a great game and a great opponent! I have some pics I'll share later on!

 

I do plan on doing a diorama between word bearers and ultras but if/when I get round to doing it is another story!

 

Glad you like him! Just three more to go! :D

I am trying to go with that for these, but I agree it may be misplaced in a 40k force.
 
I don't really think the Gal Vorbak saw themselves as evil. Later on the possessed probably do a bit. But i quite like the clean look. It shows they are still "human". Might just be me though!
 
Just adding some pictures of my game last night, if I can I will add some descriptions of the game later, just a bit pressed for time!
